Episode 19
The next day was a Tuesday, and that day was bible study in my church. I didnât want to go, as I could have just stayed in the room to read.
Because that was a chance to see Aramide
again. I wore my only and best pair of shoes, a white shirt with a black pant, and a red tie. I looked at myself in the mirror, and I looked really good. So I headed straight for
church.
I got to church early, and I had to seat in front. The 2nd row precisely.
In a service of about 800 people, how exactly was I going to see Aramide? The pastor really preached, as I could remember that he was going up, and coming down.
My mind wasnât in the service. I was just surveying the whole congregation.
But I couldnât find her. âMaybe she didnât come at all.â I thought to myself. Aramide to me didnât look like someone who would miss weekdaysâ service unless she has to be unavoidably absent.
After about 1 hour 30 minutes, the whole programme ended and we shared the grace. I looked around, but couldnât see
any âlookalikeâ of her.
Well, I had to give up, as I was trying to show a strong resolve, though I was very sad on the inside.
As I was on the main road looking for a bus, someone called my name. âDapo!â I knew it was her, or let me say I wished it
was her. But you know, wishes do come true. Indeed, it was Aramide.
Aramide: I looked around and didnât see you, I thought you didnât come.
Me: Really? I sat at the second row in front. (The reply should have been; same here, but I didnât want to be
forward)
Aramide: Hope you enjoyed the message?
Me: Definitely, I did. The man of God is just so blessed and anointed.
Aramide: Did you hear when he talked about the health center?
Me: Yeah, it was really profound. (I didnât listen to anything, I just didnât want to look like a bad Christian).
The buses were coming, but so many people were there, also trying to get a bus. Which means that one would have to
struggle to enter the bus, since it was just some minutes to 7pm, I just continued my conversation with Aramide, and
didnât bother rushing for the bus. Aramide did same.
Me: So what church to you attend at hone?
Aramide: RCC
Me: Redeem?
Aramide: Yeah sure.
Me: So you are a redeemer?
Aramide: (Laughing) Jesus is the redeemer, and Iâm just the
redeemed.
Me: Wow, nice analysis.
We continued discussing, and it was getting really interesting.
We just continued. . .
Aramide: Actually, to be sincere, Iâve been looking for you since I entered church. Because there is something I want to
ask you, and something I want to tell you.
Me: (My heart beat became ten times faster, because the girl in question is a girl I liked since the first time I saw her.
âIs she going to ask me to date her? or tell me she liked me? Or.
. .â I kept wondering what she wanted to say as I prepared my big YES for the big question. I was keeping mute for too
long, so I had to say something) You said you want to tell me something, and ask me a question. Which one do you want
to do exactly?
Aramide: (Laughing) Both.
Me: (Now it seems like itâs what I was thinking, but I just kept
calm) So letâs hear the question.
Aramide: The question is: DO YOU. . .
